A Fearful Death.

LoNovIEw, Jan. 25.---Last Friday
night beakeman, familiarly known
as "Baldy," but whose real name is j..
ID. Lee, met a horrible death. lie had
been on something of spree, and
had finally bought bottle Of whisky
and gone to a grove, Il half mile dist
ant, where he built fire at the roots
of tree and laid down beside it. The
high wind of Friday blew the tree
down, and it fell across the lower part
of his body, breaking his back. He
managed to get razor from an in
side pocket, with which he cut the
ground and roots as far under the log
as he could reach. These eXertions
must have lasted some time, until
hope was driven away by despair,
when he used the razor in a different
manner, first cutting his wrists, and
waiting until tired for death TO re-
lease him from pain, he finally sawed
through his throat, causing his death.
His age is about SO. His body was
found yesterday afternoon, and the
above facts were brought to light.

Good for Wilkes +.

Last Thursday the good old county of
Wilkes, by almost unanimous vote, decided
to remain no longer an out-of-the-way
place, but to become connected with the
busting, busy, outside world. Whatever
Wilkes undertakes she does we'll, from rails
ing big men to voting a railroad subscription.
This last she has done with her accustomed
vim, casting over 900 votes above the num-
Der requisite for granting the 100000 SUBJ
script.on. Now, she and Winston-Salem are
to be put in close connection. Through
Winston, Wilkes and the adjoining counties
will pour their produce and, in turn, will
receive immigration and money.
Wilkesbero, as summer resort, was quite
popular in ante-bellum times, receiving Wis
itors from Virginia, Georgia and even New
York. Now, in easy communication by rail
with all points, she will progress and that
rapidly. With her fine location, beautiful
scenery and high altitude she may well
expect to rival the more pretentious resorts
farther west.
Several Winston gentlemen are already
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of building
summer residences there and ere long the
town will understand and feel the full mean
ing of the word 'boom." To Winston this
road means great deal. 1t will open up
to her the choice trade of the western coun-
ties ard completely annihilate the claims
of other towns on the trade of Wilkes and
her sister counties. The people of both
towns are to be congratulated and that right
heartily on their enthusiastic support of this
| railroad. 1t means progress, it means imni.
grafton, it means wealth to both Wilkesborc
and Winston and to towns along the line
